I think that regardless of what the coaches say about RBs needing to block well before they see the field, Wilson will be out on the field for a good portion of the snaps from week one. You don't necessarily need your running back picking up the blitz, even if it's a passing play. The idea of running backs running routes shouldn't be novel to the Giants. Wilson is too talented to be sitting on the sideline, and despite the stigma, Coughlin does like to get his early round rookies involved. JPP, Nicks, KP and Ross all saw plenty of playing time as rookies, and all had decent rookies seasons.

I definitely agree in that Wilson will see the field plenty as a rookie, I just hope he can step his game up in pass protection so that he is out there for more plays. I just don't want him missing a block and then Eli getting leveled by a defender who he thought was accounted for. I think Wilson is gonna be used as a KR at the beginning of the season and then be slowly more involved into the offense as the season progresses.

The Giants turned Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs into extremely reliable protectors, and they certainly were not that way when they started.

"He's a great talent. You can tell that he's smart. He's just real physical at the line ov scrimmage. He's doing a great job covering these guys in practice."

Hosley's style of play was compared to Pacman Jones. And as much as I dislike him as a person, I like his style of play. Very scrappy and aggressive.

Rolle will not be in the slot for long, even though he's apparently playing that position now with Thomas out. Hosley or Tryon will be in there week 1.

I haven't heard much about Janzen Jackson since he's been moved from safety to corner. He's a guy I was hoping would come in and have a big camp. His film shows another very aggressive defender. He throws his body around like he has no respect for his well being. He's a guy I'll be keeping an eye on in the preseason games._________________

I'm of the belief the best QB in NY right now (July 2017) is Geno Smith.

I'm also wary of our O-Line. Eli can't keep getting the snot beat out of him and getting up. One of these times he's going to fall the wrong way or get blindsided and then...we're hosed. Not making another run at a ring without Eli.

And I stand corrected. This is from an Insiders article on ESPN. Apparently we were 9th best in preventing QB hits last year.

One of the most notable items on this chart is that the New York Giants, a club with an oft-criticized offensive line last season, ranked ninth in the league in the percentage of time they allowed their quarterback to be hit. What's more amazing is that Big Blue led the league in vertical (235) and stretch vertical (106) pass attempts last season. If that is the type of protection this line is capable of in an off year, it speaks volumes for where this team could rank in 2012.

I can't wait to see this kid out on the football field. I have a real good feeling that he will be our nickelback by the end of the year. He's going to have a bright future in New York. He will be the playmaker in the secondary that the Giants have been lacking with T2 off the field.

He (Terrell) feels very positive about it. He told me before he left he really doesn’t have any pain, he does not feel instability and the knee was not swollen. He went down and Dr. Andrews pretty much agreed what the other doctors have said. Let’s try to rehab him and see if we can get him back on the field.”
